Help Diagnosing Memory Leak . . . stock perl 5.8.2 that ships with AIX 5.3

I use AIX 5.2 on my test machines and compile perl using gcc version 4.2.4. I have 12 different perl versions in /usr/local/bin/ directory. I keep the full version as part of the name, and do a symbolic link to the one I want to use. ( ln -s -f /usr/local/bin/perl5.12.2 /usr/local/bin/perl )

If you can do the same, perl 5.12.2 seems the best, fastest, etc, to date. Skip all of the perl 5.10.x versions. If you need to use 5.8.x then use at least 5.8.8. I don't remember why, but versions after 5.6.1 until 5.8.8 had problems ( maybe part of your experienced memory problem ).

Good Luck!
